Disease of the heart valves is increasingly common and frequently
requires treatment, usually a combination of drug therapy and
surgery to repair or replace the valve. The majority of valvular
heart disease occurs in older people, and is due to degenerative
disease of the valve tissue. Understanding how to diagnose,
investigate and manage patients with valvular heart disease is a
core skill for a wide range of doctors, including cardiologists,
cardiac surgeons, general physicians, general surgeons and
anaesthetists. Valvular heart disease can also occur in younger
patients and can be particularly challenging to diagnose and treat
in pregnant women. New advances in cardiology mean a range of
valvular heart disease can be treated with percutaneous procedures
avoiding the need for full cardiac surgery. This unique text covers
all aspects of valvular heart disease, including normal valve
anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, modes of investigation,
assessment and treatment of specific valve lesions, valve surgery
(both medical and surgical aspects), treatment in pregnancy or
during non-cardiac surgery, and the devastating complication of
infective endocarditis, in an easy-to-read, accessible format. It
contains over 150 high quality pictures and illustrations,
providing contemporary diagnostic imaging (including conventional
radiography, echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging) to
demonstrate the importance of imaging in diagnosis and treatment.
Individual valve lesions are reviewed in turn with specific
indications for intervention in line with current European
guidelines. The handbook complements the curriculum for specialist
training in the UK, and is relevant to candidtaes in preparation
for accreditation with the British Society of Echocardiography.
